Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Super funny and sweet professor! Very down to earth and enthusiastic about teaching. I was one of the few students in my class this semester that would regularly show up, and because of that she gave out a lot of extra credit in class toward the beginning/middle of the semester. For a good chunk of this semester, I had over 100% in the class.

Dr. Larson's class was very enjoyable. She understood that things come up, so attendance was not required in lecture or in lab. Exams were online and easy. If you do the work, you will get an A.

The seminar was super easy. Grade is based mostly on attendance. One small homework assignment each week that I am convinced wasn't even read. 100% every week. It was just incredibly boring. Good luck WISE girls!

Professor Larson is an approachable, down-to-earth woman. She is knowledgeable in the fields of environmental science and agriculture, and prefers an almost socratic approach to lecture. She assigns A LOT of work, but if you complete all of it, an A should be easy to obtain. Do not study for exams, because it is simply not worth it!
